The closest period dish to this I can think of is Hanoney...
> Carmelized Onion Omelet with Vinegar
>
>
> Serves 2. Instead of being cooked entirely over a flame, this omelet is
> cooked on one side and then browned under the broiler. Onions take 45
> minutes to cook down and can be done the day before.
> INGREDIENTS:
>
> * 4-5 eggs, beaten with salt and pepper
> * 2 Tablespoon butter
> * 1 to 1-1/2 large onions (total weight should be 1-1/2 pounds), very
> thinly sliced (it is best to use a mandoline)
> * 3 Tablespoons cream
> * red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
>
> PREPARATION:
> 1. Heat the butter in a large pot or skillet and add the onions. Cook for
> about 15 minutes until they release liquid.
>
> 2. Turn the heat to high to evaporate the liquid. Stir constantly to prevent
> sticking and/or burning.
>
> 3. When all the liquid has evaporated, turn the heat to low and cook another
> 15 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes.
>
> Preheat broiler
>
> 4. Mix in the cream with the eggs. Transfer onions to a 9-inch pan and pour
> the eggs over them.
>
> 5. Cook over medium heat, gently pushing the eggs down into the onions ~
> about 5 minutes.
>
> 6. Slide the pan under the broiler and cook for 1-2 minutes. The omelet
> should be barely set and still slightly runny.
